U+BD9B "붛" Hangul Syllable Buh Unicode Character
U+BD9B "붛" Hangul Syllable Buh is a precomposed syllable in the modern Korean writing system, representing the sound "buh" as a combination of the initial consonant ㅂ (bieup) and the vowel ㅜ (u), followed by the final consonant ㅎ (hieut). Part of the Hangul Syllables block (AC00 to D7AF), this character was encoded in Unicode version 2.0 in 1996 to facilitate digital representation of the Korean language by providing a complete set of syllabic forms, ensuring that composite Hangul text is displayed and processed accurately across computing platforms. Although the syllable 붛 is not common in everyday Korean vocabulary, its inclusion in the standard underscores Unicode’s goal of supporting the full orthographic range of Hangul, including rare or theoretical syllabic combinations used in historical, linguistic, or specialized contexts.
